Scholarship Opportunity: Center of Being with James Brinson

About the Event​ 

Join us as we explore the different aspects of Being. In life an individual may wear several "hats" and perform many roles. What is the elemental thread present in each connection and activity? What are ways to connect with Universal Presence in any moment or event? Create space and setting to discover, dance, play, and explore the Center of Being.

Within the retreat we will utilize the techniques of inquiry, reflection, and meditation to deepen, connect, and flower our personal states of Being.  "I am overjoyed to co-create this experience." - James Editor B.

There will be an opportunity to make a dana* contribution in any amount, to Flowering Lotus and the teachers at the online event. Your generosity is a gift that supports not just the teacher; but also the Sangha (Flowering Lotus); the larger Dharma community; and, most importantly, your own practice.

*Dana is a Pali word that is generally translated “generosity.” We are taught to practice dana, or generosity, by making monetary offerings for the teachings. Dana is not payment for services rendered – it is given from the heart. Dana is the first theme in the Buddha’s system of gradual training and the first of the three grounds for meritorious action.
